Comprehension:
Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the
questions that are based on the passage.

Recently, India was in the news again as a world leader – but this time for the wrong reason.
According to the Swiss firm IQAir’s assessment of the air quality of world cities 2023, New
Delhi is back to being the world’s most polluted capital. New Delhi’s annual air quality rating is
19 times the World Health Organization’s annual limit recommended in 2021 for its pollutant
level. The picture is no better as far as the larger Union Territory of Delhi is considered – its
annual record of pollutant levels makes it the third most polluted region globally.

Delhi may have hogged the headlines on air pollution, but the problem is far from unique to
metropolises. IQAir’s findings reveal that even lower-tier cities and towns in India are choking
because of very poor air quality. Indeed, Begusarai in Bihar is the world’s most polluted city.
Partly industrialized, housing among others an oil refinery, Begusarai is primarily agrarian.
And Begusarai is not an outlier: Mullanpur in Punjab, which is transitioning to an urban
settlement, and Siwan in Bihar are among the 42 Indian cities/towns that are among the 50
most polluted globally.

Many judicial pronouncements have upheld “the right to clean air” as a corollary to the
fundamental right to life and pushed governments to act. But Delhi’s bad air is despite the
introduction of CNG in public transport and the building of a metro network in the early years
of this decade, and in spite of the presence of a Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) that
kicks in when the air quality turns bad and becomes more stringent as the air quality worsens.

Improving air quality across Indian cities requires three fundamental changes. One,
governments must turn to science to understand, measure, and monitor the problem. Two,
they have to understand that the response will have to include behavioural changes and use
a combination of incentives and penalties to achieve this. And three, clean air has to be seen
as a common public good. To be sure, it is not just the responsibility of the Centre or a battle
for courts to wage, but a fight that states and municipal governments have to be a part of.
This is the battle for our future.

SubQuestion No : 1
Q.1 In the last sentence of the passage, “This is the battle for our future”, the writer is
Ans 1. projecting a bleak future for India.

2. emphasizing the need to fight for clean air.

3. being ambivalent.

4. being melodramatic.

Comprehension:
Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the
questions that are based on the passage.

Anxiety is an emotion that all people experience from time to time, and we do that for good
reasons. It has been built into us; we have inherited it from our evolutionary past, because, in
general, anxiety has a survival function. It kicks in whenever we sense danger – we freeze,
we devote all of our attention to the danger, and our bodies react with a big release of
adrenalin, an increase in blood flow to the muscles, getting us ready to run as fast as we can
or fight as fiercely as we might.
Anxiety also helps us to focus on things when we have deadlines and, if someone is driving
too fast when we cross the road, it helps us to jump out of the way quickly. So, there is
nothing wrong with anxiety in general, and in fact, we would have difficulties if we did not
experience it to some extent. However, it can get problematic if the danger is imagined rather
than real, or is something that is exaggerated. In those cases, particularly if the perceived
danger is out of proportion to the real danger, and it is persistent and disabling, then there is a
danger of an anxiety disorder.
Scientists are looking at what role genes play in the development of these disorders and are
also investigating the effects of environmental factors such as pollution, physical and
psychological stress, and diet. Several parts of the brain are key actors in the production of
fear and anxiety. Using brain imaging technology and neurochemical techniques, scientists
have discovered that the amygdala plays a significant role in most anxiety disorders. By
learning more about how the brain creates fear and anxiety, scientists may be able to devise
better treatments for these disorders.
The first psychotherapy treatment that was shown to be effective was ‘exposure therapy’,
which essentially encourages people in a graded way to go into their feared situations and
stay in them for as long as they can and build their confidence that way. Another is ‘group
cognitive behaviour therapy’, a talking therapy that helps people to understand the link
between negative thoughts and mood and how altering their behaviour can enable them to
manage anxiety and feel in control. There are, of course, drugs that can help people with
anxiety, but medication will not cure an anxiety disorder, it can only help to keep it under
control while the person receives psychotherapy.
There is plenty of evidence that exercise can help with anxiety problems. When stress affects
the brain, with its many nerve connections, the rest of the body feels the impact as well.
Exercise and other physical activity produce endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that
act as natural painkillers. Additionally, getting physically tired can help people fall asleep
faster and have deeper, more relaxing sleep. As many people suffering from anxiety often
have problems with insomnia, just the ability to get a good night’s rest can change their
perspectives.
Anxiety is a normal but highly subjective human emotion. While normal anxiety serves a
beneficial and adaptive purpose, it can also become the cause of tremendous suffering for
millions of people. It is important that people recognise excessive anxiety in themselves at the
earliest, as treatment can be very successful. Leaving it untreated can be a misery.

SubQuestion No : 7
Q.7 Based on the information in the passage, which of the following statements best
describes the potential danger associated with anxiety disorder?
Ans 1. It is characterized by a persistent and exaggerated perception of danger.

2. It occurs when the perceived danger is proportionate to the real danger.

3. It is always indicative of an imagined danger rather than a real one.

4. It primarily arises from genetic factors rather than environmental influences.

stay in them for as long as they can and build their confidence that way. Another is ‘group
cognitive behaviour therapy’, a talking therapy that helps people to understand the link
between negative thoughts and mood and how altering their behaviour can enable them to
manage anxiety and feel in control. There are, of course, drugs that can help people with
anxiety, but medication will not cure an anxiety disorder, it can only help to keep it under
control while the person receives psychotherapy.
There is plenty of evidence that exercise can help with anxiety problems. When stress affects
the brain, with its many nerve connections, the rest of the body feels the impact as well.
Exercise and other physical activity produce endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that
act as natural painkillers. Additionally, getting physically tired can help people fall asleep
faster and have deeper, more relaxing sleep. As many people suffering from anxiety often
have problems with insomnia, just the ability to get a good night’s rest can change their
perspectives.
Anxiety is a normal but highly subjective human emotion. While normal anxiety serves a
beneficial and adaptive purpose, it can also become the cause of tremendous suffering for
millions of people. It is important that people recognise excessive anxiety in themselves at the
earliest, as treatment can be very successful. Leaving it untreated can be a misery.

SubQuestion No : 9
Q.9 In what way might the relationship between exercise or physical activity and anxiety
relief suggest a potential solution for individuals with anxiety disorders?
Ans 1. Exercise-induced endorphins facilitate cognitive behavioural therapy’s effectiveness.

2. Exercise may directly target the amygdala to reduce anxiety symptoms.

3. Physical activity serves as a temporary distraction from anxiety, but its long-term
effects remain unclear.
4. Physical activity could enhance sleep quality, indirectly lessening anxiety symptoms.

Comprehension:
Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the
questions that are based on the passage.

Anxiety is an emotion that all people experience from time to time, and we do that for good
reasons. It has been built into us; we have inherited it from our evolutionary past, because, in
general, anxiety has a survival function. It kicks in whenever we sense danger – we freeze,
we devote all of our attention to the danger, and our bodies react with a big release of
adrenalin, an increase in blood flow to the muscles, getting us ready to run as fast as we can
or fight as fiercely as we might.
Anxiety also helps us to focus on things when we have deadlines and, if someone is driving
too fast when we cross the road, it helps us to jump out of the way quickly. So, there is
nothing wrong with anxiety in general, and in fact, we would have difficulties if we did not
experience it to some extent. However, it can get problematic if the danger is imagined rather
than real, or is something that is exaggerated. In those cases, particularly if the perceived
danger is out of proportion to the real danger, and it is persistent and disabling, then there is a
danger of an anxiety disorder.
Scientists are looking at what role genes play in the development of these disorders and are
also investigating the effects of environmental factors such as pollution, physical and
psychological stress, and diet. Several parts of the brain are key actors in the production of
fear and anxiety. Using brain imaging technology and neurochemical techniques, scientists
have discovered that the amygdala plays a significant role in most anxiety disorders. By
learning more about how the brain creates fear and anxiety, scientists may be able to devise
better treatments for these disorders.

SubQuestion No : 10
Q.10 Which of the following best indicates the relationship between anxiety and survival?
Ans 1. Despite being inherited from our evolutionary past, anxiety frequently undermines
survival as it is not an integral part of human nature.
2. Anxiety is ingrained within us due to our evolutionary heritage and generally serves
to promote survival.
3. Anxiety, an intrinsic part of human nature, often disrupts our ability to thrive by acting
as an impediment to survival.
4. Anxiety is part of our evolutionary past, yet has limited relevance now as it does not
significantly impact our chances of survival.
